Who Needs a Gun At A knife Fight?
In essence of President Barack Obama’s inaugural address and Richard Blanco’s inaugural poem, they addressed many social issues in America. In Obama’s address, Obama feels the grounds of the second amendment do not still apply today. People are not walking around carrying large guns as they did back in the days. There is no reason to have possession of massive artillery in this day. Gun control was briefly mentioned; however it is a strong topic of debate. Both Obama and Blanco spoke upon crime, equality, economy, and education.
America is feeding on a single theory, “every person should be offered a career they can solely survive on and have infatuation for. Working hard should have the end result of success. Hard work should be awarded with a decent pay. Because many have a weak start, hey should not be deprived of a slice of success. People born into the weakest of economic situations should all be offered the same opportunities, because they are Americans. Being an American ensures them equality and freedom. …show more content…
Great America, we long for your existence.
Every citizen, from the east coast to the west coast, is waiting for you. Using the government as a crutch, we wait. President Obama is working to wean American citizens off their “crutches.” He has begun making it so; they can stand strong by themselves. Using “crutch” as a synonym to the government was not intended to say that the government is there to handicap us. The government is an aid, giving America support. The reduction of health care cost has begun, with the intent to help fortify the generation that built America up to what it is now. Tax codes are being ameliorated, along with our school systems. We are constantly working to build up our youth, our future. More opportunities are being offered to citizens in order to flourish hem with the skill needed to be more
prosperous. Hello, Buenos Dias, and Namaste are all welcoming salutations. They all have the same meaning, different presentation. There are people of many different races and backgrounds. All of those who are American based, have each experienced Americas roots, all of the hard work of Americas descents. Everyone will not start in the same conditions, which should not get them judged. A person’s skin color, sexual preference, or financial status will not make a person less or more smart than some one of a different complexion. Being fluent in a language other than English or having English as your second language will not hinder their capabilities.
Everyday a mother has to lay her child or children to rest. Why, because mentally unstable people can access heavy artillery just as easily as one can buy a snickers candy bar. As a nation, we must come together and revolt gun violence. The right to bare arms should be abolished. Many would disagree with me for hunting purposes. Hunting rifles and other necessary artillery should be a process similar to renting bowling shoes. You rent and use them while you are there; you are not allowed to leave with them. All other guns, serve no purpose. If they have been outlawed and no one has guns, there is no one you will need to protect yourself from.
So many lives are being cut short. America is concern with hunting animals while our own brothers and sisters are the ones truly being hunted. Shooters do not take into consideration their own lives or others. Who is to know if that little girl you gunned down was going to discover the cure to cancer or end poverty nationwide. Thanks to you rootless shooter we all will never know. By eliminating open gun usage, more people will be given the opportunity to possibly prosper in our country of partiality. America has the potential to be beyond great. With our president, Obama, leading the way, we are headed there. America faces very may issues, which we are overcoming. Not as many lives will be taken, very few will be judged based on the sexual preference. We can wake up and send our children to school, knowing they will return. We as a nation must all side as one and build America to perfection.
